sort — Sort list using an expression
list
sort
( | any | x , |
any | y , | |
list | LIST , | |
block | EXPR
) ; |
Sorts the list LIST. You have to specify an order on the list elements by naming formal variables x and y and specify an expression EXPR that evaluates to a boolean value depending on x and y. Return true if x>y to sort the list ascending.
The comparison must be an irreflexive one, that is ">" instead of ">=".
